Overview:

Eaton® offers two leading technologies for power distribution management at the rack enclosure level, Advanced Monitored (AM) and Managed (MA) technologies. Both technologies offer outlet-level monitoring of power usage in kilowatt hours. They monitor critical factors such as voltage, current and power factor in high accuracy. This level of monitoring provides the granularity to understand your energy consumption. Specifically, it can reveal where extra capacity resides and allows you to assign power usage by customer, for example, an external customer within a colocation situation.

Power usage effectiveness (PUE) is a metric used to determine the energy efficiency of a data center and is determined by dividing the amount of power entering a data center by the power used to run the computer infrastructure within it. These ePDUs provide outlet level power consumption for Level 3 PUE calculations.

Key applications

Designed for the needs of the modern data center, these ePDU® configurations are flexible and available with eight different input plugs. All versions feature 200-240V power output to C13 and C19 outlets.

SMB and networking closets

Single-phase 20/30A solution with L6-20P and L6-30P input plugs

Provides 4-5 kW of power to the rack enclosure

The 20A version features a detachable power cord with standard C20 input

120V cords available for 20A version

Enterprise data centers

Three phase 20/30A solutions

400V power configurations available – reducing cost of electrical distribution and transformer loss

Supports high-consumption applications requiring 11-17 kW of power in racks

You can utilize the Environmental Monitoring Probe to track internal and external temperatures, humidity and contact closure. This information allows you to operate the ePDU up to 50°C, in turn reducing cooling costs. (Part number EMP001).

Power management software

Eaton provides software management capabilities for every application. Out-of-the-box Web browser management is built into the ePDU and SNMP allows integration to thirdparty network management. This also allows you to connect to Eaton's management software options: Intelligent Power® Manager or Power Xpert®.

Web Browser/E-mail alerts

Every network-connected ePDU comes standard with built-in web server and e-mail capability, allowing you to connect to any ePDU using a standard web browser.

SNMP

Every network-connected ePDU supports SNMP alerts and has a standard MIB available for third party software integration.

Cisco EnergyWise Compliant

These ePDUs are compliant with Cisco's EnergyWise software. The integration of Cisco Energywise into our ePDU offering helps you to reduce network and facilities energy usage and costs, so you can gain control of your building management system.

Intelligent Power Manager

Eaton's Intelligent Power Manager provides you with monitoring and management capabilities across your network. Ideal for virtualized environments, IPM is fully integrated with VMware's vCenter ServerTM and Microsoft SCVMM TM.

Power Xpert

Ideal for a facility enterprise solution, Power Xpert supports all of Eaton's products and offers support for third-party products as well — providing alarms, current readings and environmental sensors. This software also allows for customization under certain conditions.

Advanced LCD Display

This new advanced LCD display provides outlet and section current information, voltage and kilowatt-hour readings, all at a single glance. The display is accompanied with a three-button interface that allows you to navigate through the user-friendly menu structure. Dual-color display blinks when a system alarm is detected, providing local notification.
